- Before 2027 — the market puts it at 20%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Virgin Galactic launches its next commercial Delta-class SpaceShip after issuance but before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a train mock-up for the relevant event, but only the space launch counts.
